A parallel light beam of wavelength 6000 Å passes through a slit 0.2 mm wide and forms a diffraction pattern on a screen 1.0 m away from the slit. Find the width of the central maximum on the screen. What would be the width of this maximum, if the apparatus be immersed in water of refractive index 43?

The box of a pin hole camera of length L has a hole of radius e. It is assumed that when the hole is illuminated by a parallel beam of light of wavelength λ, the spread of the spot (obtained on the opposite wall of the camera) is the sum of its geometrical spread and the spread due to diffraction. The spot would then have its minimum size (say bmin) when:
